"Fable Fortune is not just a Fable card game," said developers Flaming Fowl in a Kickstarter update. "It’s actually a deep and innovative CCG that brings many new things to the genre. But we need to grow if we are going to succeed. We need more CCG gamers to get involved by playing our game or watching streams and see for themselves what Fable Fortune is bringing to the table."

As a result, the Alpha build is also free of any NDA, meaning all footage can be recorded, uploaded, streamed or edited in any way.

The giveaway starts after today's livestream and Q&A of the game from London's Gfinity arena at 17:30 BST/ 12:30 ET / 09:30 PT.

Fable Fortune is the game Lionhead was secretly developing prior to its closure, and has since been taken on by a new indie developer made up of the team that was working on it previously, all with Microsoft's blessing.
